Lord, with Glowing Heart I'd Praise Thee

Author: Francis Scott Key Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 280 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I’d praise Thee For the bliss Thy love bestows, For the pard'ning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows. Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise: Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wanderer, far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away. Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling, Him who saw thy guilt-born fear, And, the light of hope revealing, Bade the bloodstained Cross appear. 3 Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express; Low before Thy footstool kneeling, Deign Thy suppliant’s prayer to bless. Let Thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure, Love’s pure flame within me raise: And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth Thy praise. Amen.

Berg Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 105 hymnals First Line: Children of the heav'nly Father Lyrics: 1 Children of the heav'nly Father Safely in His bosom gather; Nestling bird nor star in heaven Such a refuge e'er was given. 2 God His own doth tend and nourish: In His holy courts they flourish; From all evil things He spares them, In His mighty arms He bears them. 3 Neither life nor death shall ever From the Lord His children sever; Unto them His grace He showeth, And their sorrows all He knoweth. 4 Lo, their very hairs He numbers, And no daily care encumbers Them that share His every blessing, And His help in woes distressing. 5 Praise the Lord in joyful numbers: Your Protector never slumbers. At the will of your Defender Every foeman must surrender. 6 Though He giveth or He taketh, God His children ne'er forsaketh, His the loving purpose solely To preserve them pure and holy. Amen.

Let, O My Soul, Thy God Direct Thee

Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Georg Neumark; Claude W. Foss Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let, O my soul, thy God direct thee, And trust in Him through all thy days; In every danger He'll protect thee, And crown thy years with peace and grace. He doth not build upon the sand Who trusts in God's almighty hand. 2 Of what avail is all our sorrow? What profit all our sighs and tears? Why should we grieve for each to-morrow? Why thus begin and end our years? Our sighs and sorrows but increase Our burdens, and disturb our peace. 3 Be still, in faith and hope abiding, Trust in thy God and be content; In His unfailing love confiding, Take what His gracious hand hath sent; To God who chose thee as His own Thy every need and care is known. 4 The time to comfort thee He knoweth, He giveth thee whate'er is best; The prayer that from thy bosom goeth He heareth ere it is expressed. With gifts He cometh unawares In answer to thy fervent prayers. 5 Think not when tried and tempest-driven, Thou art forsaken by thy God; For those who are the heirs of heaven Must pass beneath the chastening rod. The night of weeping may ere long Be changed into the morn of song. 6 What does it cost the Lord Almighty To raise the humble and the low? Or to abase the high and mighty, And cause their utter overthrow? For He whose wonders none can trace, He lifteth up, He doth abase. 7 Walk in His truth, be firm and fearless, And do thy duty day by day; Trust in His Word when sad and cheerless, Make it thy comfort and thy stay. The Lord thy God thy refuge make And He will never thee forsake. Amen.

Sunset and Evening Star

Author: Alfred Tennyson Meter: Irregular Appears in 184 hymnals Lyrics: Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark; For, though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. Amen. Topics: Last Things: Death and Burial; Names and Office of Christ Pilot Used With Tune: CROSSING THE BAR
